Jane's Comfortably Luxurious Family Home

Jane and her husband have very different approaches to design. While they both have a vested interest, Jane leans heavily towards form and her husband is a big fan of function. Together, however, they have achieved greatness.

Jane is a designer by profession, so she took the lead seven years ago to create one home out of two apartments — one above the other. Her husband was often by her side, however, selecting furniture and providing the inspiration for the consistent but subtle use of the color blue throughout their home.

Because the building is a product of the 80's, Jane knew that she had her stylistic limits. She firmly believed in "decorating within the bones of the space." So, no English Country theme for them! And with one child at the time and another on the way, Jane understood that she would be creating a child-friendly home. She knew that the solution would be design based on 'soft' and 'round' and that she would not have to sacrifice appeal or design quality along the way.

Every room is sophisticated but at the same time oozes soft — both visually and when you take a seat. The furniture and walls are neutral but the accessories and the light are attention grabbing. It's a huge apartment out of most people's reach, but at every turn, there are accessible design solutions that universally motivate and inspire. This home is a success, for sure!
